“Some onlookers witnessed him jumping into the sea and immediately alerted nearby police stationed in a van. The police then informed the fire brigade and initiated a search operation. However, due to low visibility, the operation was suspended late in the evening,” said a police officer. The identity of the man remains unknown, but witnesses estimate he was approximately 40 years old.

“We believe he may have been from outside Mumbai based on witness statements. The search operation will resume on Saturday,” added the police officer.

On Thursday, two police constables rescued a woman who had fallen into a similar situation.
